Package: lzma Version: 9.22-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I tried to compress a large file using lzma. But lzma failed to open the file. The command line was lzma -v9 filtermail.log lzma failed with an error message 'Cannot open input file filtermail.log'. The file in question is 23GB: : nr@labrador 12746 ; ls -lh filtermail.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nr nr 23G Oct 15 13:17 filtermail.log : nr@labrador 12747 ; ls -l filtermail.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nr nr 23732206014 Oct 15 13:17 filtermail.log : nr@labrador 12748 ; Here is some information from strace: mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb74b0000 mprotect(0xb7739000, 16384, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0xb7783000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 munmap(0xb7745000, 125574) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8812000 brk(0x8833000) = 0x8833000 rt_sigaction(SIGTERM, {0x80567f0, [TERM], SA_RESTART}, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGHUP, {0x80567f0, [HUP], SA_RESTART}, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x80567f0, [INT], SA_RESTART}, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 umask(077) = 02 lstat64("filtermail.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=23732206014, ...}) = 0 open("filtermail.log", O_RDONLY) = -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large for defined data type) write(2, "lzma", 4lzma) = 4 write(2, ": ", 2: ) = 2 write(2, "Cannot open input file filtermai"..., 37Cannot open input file filtermail.log) = 37 write(2, "\n", 1 ) = 1 exit_group(1) I expected lzma to compress the file. N.B. gzip -v9 is compressing the file now. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lzma depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u4 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 lzma recommends no packages. lzma suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
